It seems we are standing on uncertain grounds of information provided by undisclosed sources, a games developer to be more exact, who is implying that the graphics leaders - Nvidia and ATI - shouldn't even wipe the feet of Ageia's Physics card, informs The Enquirer.

The source stated that, when he tried to put in action the physics, using ATI's or Nvidia's latest products, somehow the physics went down the drain, and, consequently, only Ageia could handle the pressure. The source added that the topics of the discussion include also graphics cards such as X1900 XT or 7900 GT.

The mysterious source didn't mention which type of game he was developing. "If you want to use 3D particle water spray or wave ripples, you need Physics do to it properly," said the angry source.

Unfortunately, as Ageia's cards don't benefit from software support, the gamers should not be so thrilled at the thought that they are cheaper and faster. The software could cost more.

Last month, the famous game developer - Asacaron Entertainment GmbH announced that it has signed two agreements with Ageia Technologies with their hardware-accelerated physics for games, Inc., and Kynogon a supplier of A.I. middleware solutions (the Kynapse A.I.).

The behavior of the creatures throughout Sacred's universe will be given a special attention. "Kynapse was integrated into our game quickly and smoothly. We can now focus entirely on the high level behavior of our creatures, since Kynapse handles all our path finding and low level behavior out-of-the-box," said Kay Struve, Technical Director at Ascaron Entertainment.

Sacred 2 is meant to be a fantasy RPG through the medieval-like kingdom of Ancaria, featuring battles and a wide range of quests, all powered by the AGEIA PhysX processor.
